After students are finished with the lectures foreach material, a project is assigned. For each project they are presented with a volume orseries of volumes with a prescribed program (usually one that requires a mix of large andsmall structural spans). They are also provided with the relevant live load tables, snowload maps, some estimates of dead load, a chart with allowable spans for various systems,and any other background information that they might need. They are also given a list ofsteps to streamline the process.The students work in groups of 3-4. They may

myriad of factors produce extreme pressures on academic programs, and more broadly oncolleges and universities themselves. Institutions of Higher Education are increasingly beinglooked at to provide support for current students, to produce capable graduates, and to meet theneeds of the labor markets. In order to attempt to meet these daunting goals, various aspects ofthe academic curriculum will need to be adjusted and formalized.A recently completed NSF-funded project at Burlington County College, entitled “Institutional-Level Reform of an Engineering Technology Program.” sought to identify critical skills andcompetencies needed by industry (both technical and non-technical) and to examine the meansby which these competencies are incorporated

Students learn the characteristics, advantages anddisadvantages of different structural systems, how to evaluate the different systems and how todevelop the preliminary structural designs of buildings. The courses also cover foundations,cladding and long span and high rise structures.The primary goal of this series is to give these students tools that will assist them in their careersas project leaders so they can better produce efficient
